BASKETBALL : THE BALLTODAYBalls are generally designated for indoor (generallymade of leather or absorbent composites), or all-surfaceuse (generally made of rubber or durable composites,also known as Indoor/Outdoor balls). Indoor balls tendto be considerably more expensive than all-surfaceballs due to cost of materials. In addition, brand new all-leather indoor balls must be "broken in" first to achieveoptimal grip before use in competition. Theabrasiveness of asphalt and the dirt and moisturepresent in an outdoor setting will usually ruin an indoorball within a very short period of time, which is why anindoor/outdoor ball is recommended for recreationalplayers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball_(ball)
